The Thirsty Crow Story with Moral
In a hot summer day with scorching heat, a thirsty crow flew into the village in search of water. The crow flew above the trees, fields, and houses in search of water but couldn’t find any. He finally found a farm after a long search. A pitcher of water was hidden under one of the trees.
The crow was happy to have finally found water and swooped down to get it. He quickly moved towards the pitcher, and looked in. The crow tried to put his beak into the narrow neck pot, but couldn’t reach the water as the pot contained very little water.
He tried pushing the vessel down to get the water out, but it was just too heavy. The crow was disheartened. He was very thirsty and desperately needed water. He could have given up on his search for water and flew to another farm.
He didn't. Instead, he looked around, and thought, "What other options are there?" He noticed that the farm had a lot of pebbles. He got an idea! He took a pebble from the ground and put it in the pitcher, then he added another pebble and another and so on. As he added more stones to the pitcher, the water level rose until it reached the top.
The crow quenched his thirst by drinking the water and returned home happily!
